The Role of the Arts in Shifting of ConsciousnessbyDuanita G. Eleniak PhD

This is a full length dissertation which explores the role of the arts in the transformation of consciousness. First Dr. Duanita researched the principles of the new sciences with regard to how shifts in consciousness are understood to happen. She then applied the concepts to herself as she immersed in a program of fine arts studying acting for film and television. Using an organic research design which explicitly engaged spirit in the process, she explored shifts in her own consciousness as well as how the performing arts act as a transformative tool for others. Devoted to a path of assisting the shift in consciousness to a worldview which honors spirit, the researcher explores and describes her lived experiencing of the topic with the intention of inspiring transformative changes of heart in her readers.

"Be the Change: Acting with Intention" is a powerfully inspiring story of the author’s extensive and intensive journey of immersion from the scientific to the sublime through her enrolment in a nine-month fine arts program studying acting for film and television while continuing her clinical therapy practice. It is a journey that leads her to enhanced consciousness and connection with Spirit.
